The Green Revolution of the 1960s improved crop yields in part through the widespread
cultivation of semidwarf plant varieties, which resist lodging but require a high-nitrogen (N) …

The accomplishment of further optimization of crop productivity in grain yield and quality is a
great challenge. Grain size is one of the crucial determinants of rice yield and quality; all of …

Exploitation of crop heterosis is crucial for increasing global agriculture production.
However, the quantitative genomic analysis of heterosis was lacking, and there is currently …

Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major crop that feeds 40% of the world's population.
Over the past several decades, advances in genomics have led to tremendous …

INTRODUCTION The green revolution of the 1960s boosted cereal crop yields in part
through widespread adoption of semi-dwarf plant varieties. The beneficial semi-dwarfism is …

Enhancing global food security by increasing the productivity of green revolution varieties of
cereals risks increasing the collateral environmental damage produced by inorganic …

The size of seeds affects not only evolutionary fitness but also grain yield of crops.
Understanding the mechanisms controlling seed size has become an important research …

Shoot architecture is determined by the organization and activities of apical, axillary,
intercalary, secondary, and inflorescence meristems and by the subsequent development of …

Editing plant genomes is technically challenging in hard-to-transform plants and usually
involves transgenic intermediates, which causes regulatory concerns. Here we report two …

Extensive allelic variation in agronomically important genes serves as the basis of rice
breeding. Here, we present a comprehensive map of rice quantitative trait nucleotides …
